What awaits you on site

With its large copper-green dome, the Great Synagogue is an imposing landmark in the cityscape of Florence. The ‘Tempio Maggiore’ was inaugurated in 1882, a few years after the emancipation of Italian Jews in 1861. It is one of the most important examples of Moorish style in Europe. The interior has a special atmosphere, with its many wall frescos, the soft light that shines through the stained glass windows and the magnificent mosaics. 

The Museo Ebraico, which was founded in 1981 and expanded in 2007, is also worth visiting. A rich collection of ceremonial Jewish art objects is displayed on two floors inside the building. Furnishings and domestic cult objects are on display to illustrate life in the Florentine ghetto, as well as information about the history of the Jewish community
